You already have two fine suggestions, but let me add
another: checkinstall. I don't have the location to
download checkinstall from to hand, but a google search
should turn it up quickly enough. checkinstall is a script
which runs the "make install" step of a tarball build to
create either a rpm package, a debian package, or a
slackware package. For one off situations, it seems to do a
nice job. YMMV
